Servings: 6 cups

Ingredients

  • 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 cup rhubarb simple syrup (recipe below)
  • 5-6 cups water

For the rhubarb simple syrup:

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 cups chopped rhubarb

Instructions

  • First make the rhubarb simple syrup. Combine 2 cup sugar and water in a medium saucepan set over medium heat. Swirl the pan gently until the sugar dissolves.
  • Remove from the heat and add your rhubarb. Allow to cool completely, or store the mixture in the refrigerator to further infuse the syrup (I wouldn't store longer than 4 hours before straining). Strain the rhubarb from the syrup.
  • Combine rhubarb syrup, lemon juice, and water in a large pitcher. Add ice and serve with glasses garnished with lemon slices and rhubarb stalks.
